Our Perspective

The defence sector operates at the intersection of extreme complexity and zero tolerance for failure. Regulatory frameworks — ITAR, DCAA, CMMC, FAR/DFARS — are not optional overhead. They are the baseline. OPS works with defence manufacturers and contractors who need a strategic partner that understands both the compliance architecture and the operational reality underneath it.

Program & Contract Management

01
Earned value management, schedule risk mitigation, and contract performance advisory for cost-plus and fixed-price government programs. We bring commercial discipline to program execution without compromising compliance posture.

DCAA-Compliant Cost Accounting

02
Indirect cost pool restructuring, timekeeping system design, and audit preparation for contractors subject to DCAA oversight. We close audit findings and build the systems to prevent recurrence.

ITAR & Export Control Compliance

03
Compliance program design, technology control plans, and denied-party screening infrastructure. We implement the frameworks that let you pursue international business without regulatory exposure.

ERP & Systems Architecture

04
Odoo ERP implementation configured for defence manufacturing — US-hosted, role-based access controls, audit trails, ITAR-compliant data architecture, and DCAA cost accounting built in from day one.

Supply Chain Optimisation

05
Supplier qualification, sole-source risk mitigation, and multi-tier supply chain visibility for AS9100 and CMMC environments. Built for the realities of long-lead government procurement.

Operational Excellence

06
Lean manufacturing adaptation for high-mix, low-volume defence production. First article inspection systems, configuration management, and production readiness frameworks that survive source inspection.
OPS Defence Practice

"The difference between a compliant defence contractor and a competitive one is operational excellence. Compliance is the floor. We help you build from there."
